Total thread jack, apologies; Dan we were reamed by IMAX tonight. Bought tickets for late show, popped out for food, came back 10 min after the show start time only to find ourselves locked out of the damn cinemas... $50 wasted. They're sausages too!

My daughter has become very clingy with her mum; to the point that she screams when mum goes away (she's 16 months old)
This means that when we go climbing, my wife can't climb while our daughter watches - otherwise the screaming starts.
The other day, mum was helping a friend flake the rope - no harness on, no semblance that she was going to climb anything - and our daughter rushed over and dragged her away from the ropes.

I would say this is effecting her climbing... Any solutions?
(This is a new thing, she used to love watching mum up high)

Take up bouldering. Then again, that can ivolve plenty of screaming too, so maybe get earplugs.

Bouldering is probably a good plan for a while at least. We used to take my daughter out with us bouldering when she was 9 months old. There's even a photo around somewhere of her doing her first "tooth-hook" ;-)

It's called separation anxiety and it's a normal part of child development :)
Here's some info http://raisingchildren.net.au/articles/separation_anxiety.html
Get your daughter to help flake the rope :) she will learn more from that experience than you can imagine :)
